I am sitting at work trying my best not to die from laughter. 30 minutes to go, help me Black Jesus!

Black Jesus is having his hair cut today, so it may be awhile.

I saw the angry tweets a few days ago and that line almost made me choke.

How do you mess this up?? I could let the painting the hammer slide because Miles IS an artist. And the conflict of the kind, insecure side of his nature vs needing to fight in the movie was so well done, and ‘Moljnir doesn’t want mercy, it wants justice’ is a meaty plot I’d love to see Miles grapple. But this trash….??? The arrogance.

Mjolnir covered in graffiti......... I can't

That's the first thing I said. Like what is this Bullshit. He is also wearing Tim's. TIMS for God's sake. & don't even get me started on his facial features...he looks nothing like Miles they are not even from the same genetic tree. And why does he have Vulcan ears?

[disgruntledyawn]

They're Nikes. Not that it makes it much better.

(Odin wears Timbs.)

[just1ncred1ble]

Your right, my bad, I shouldn't comment while sleep deprived I jumbled myself. Odin wearing Tim's was stupid as all hell. Why would a God wear Tim's.

Idk how I’ve been 30yrs on this planet and I still underestimate how fucking clueless and stupid ppl are.

Every panel is dumber than the last. How????

An entire chain/team: the script writer, the story writer, the artists, the colorist, the editor, the publisher -- all thought this was ok and we’d eat it up.
